    Description

    VINTAGE (circa 1940-1942) 8x10 photo signed by members of the Tommy Dorsey band including (11 signatures in all):
    Tommy Dorsey (trombone)
    Frank Sinatra (vocalist)
    Buddy Rich (drummer)
    Jo Stafford (vocalist) - she added the words ("Pied Piper")
    Connie Haines (vocalist)
    Freddie Stulce (saxophone)
    Heinie Beau (saxophone) - the word "sax" appears to the right of his signature
    Ziggy Elman (trumpet)
    Paul Mason (saxophone) - the words "W. Va" appear below his signature
    Joe Bushkin (piano) - signature in fountain pen with smear - see scans
    Don Lodice (saxophone)
    Photo overall is in Fair-Good condition – not bad for being about 75 years old! Photo shows signs of age - some bending at corners and minor creases throughout.  No creases impacting the signatures which are all on the back of the photo. All signatures in pencil with the exception of Joe Bushkin (fountain pen ink - with smear).  Frank Sinatra’s signature (when he was about 25 years old!) is right in the middle of the group of signatures.

    Here is your opportunity to own a vintage Frank Sinatra signature – an authentic autograph from early in his career. Vintage, authentic Sinatra signatures are very rare! This is a must-have piece for the serious Sinatra collector.
    A terrific investment - the signature of a legend. With the 100th anniversary of his birth, authentic Frank Sinatra signatures are certainly major collectors items.
    Sinatra was a willing autograph signer throughout his career (60+ years), however many forgeries and secretarial signatures exist in the market today. It is widely known that Sinatra utilized secretaries to deal with his mail correspondence, including autograph requests, as far back as 1939-1940. Many (some would argue MOST) of the Sinatra signatures you see for sale in the market today are classic examples of non-malicious secretarial signatures from the 1970's - 1990's or outright forgeries. Do not take on the risk of buying a Sinatra signature that you do not have confidence in. Look for signatures that have credible background and provenance. Have them checked out by people you trust or third-party authenticators. Third-party authenticators offer a “quick opinion” that can give you peace of mind. Do not buy something that you are unsure about.
    I have been collecting Sinatra signatures for a long time and have some other items like the one for sale here that I am considering selling in the future. So if you have any questions, please let me know! Thanks for looking!
